Note:
The above table tells how many DPMO (defects per million opportunity) correspond to what level of process sigma.
The yield number is just a percent representation of "good output" from the process. So at 233 defects in a million opportunities, your good output yield is(1-233/10^6)*100 = 99.977%
The calculations assume a long term shift of 1.5 Sigma http://www.6sigmagroup.com
